LR Limited Edition pewter series.
Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond and Celebrían. Her elder brothers were the twins Elladan and Elrohir. Aragorn and Arwen fell in love but Elrond had a strict condition that Aragorn must fulfill before he would consent to let his daughter marry a mortal. That was that Aragorn must be king of both Arnor and Gondor. This eventually came to pass and they married.

They may be twins as they are described as being so similar that its hard to tell which is which.

Elrond was the Lord of Rivendell and one of the mightest Elves on Middle-earth. He headed the 'Council of Elrond' which decided to destroy the One Ring and appointed the members of the Fellowship.

In the Hobbit, he had given shelter to Bilbo and Thorin's party and later allowed Bilbo to return as a permanent guest.

Glorfindel, a mighty Elf-lord, is sent by Elrond of Rivendell to help the hobbit Frodo reach Rivendell as he is pursued by the Nazgûl. He sets Frodo on his horse, Asfaloth, and Frodo rides ahead to the other side of the Ford of Bruinen, where he defies his pursuers. He is nearly captured, but Glorfindel, Strider and Frodo's hobbit companions come from behind and drive the Nazgûl into the water, where they are swept away by a wave of water resembling charging horses (an enchantment of Elrond's and Gandalf's).

The most terrible of all the servants of Sauron, the Nine Ringwraiths were despatched by the Dark-lord to seek out the Ringbearer. From the very day that the Hobbits left Bag End, the Ringwraiths were on their heels and dogged their footsteps all the way to Rivendell. They came by stealth to the Prancing Pony at night in order to seek out the Hobbits who were lodging there, and were only foiled by the quick-thinking of Strider.

Bill was half-starved and out of condition when bought by the four Hobbits before leaving Bree. Sam Gamgee developed an immediate rapport with the animal who, under his care and with proper feed became vigorous and healthy. He accompanied the Fellowship to Rivendell, and thence south to Eregion. The party was forced to leave him before the gates of Moria, and although Sam was very doubtful as to whether Bill would survive, they were eventually re-united.

Bill Ferny was a Breelander of ill-repute. He was a shifty fellow and was in the pay of Saruman's spies. He could often be seen conversing with suspicious looking strangers in the town and did his best to wreck the plans of Strider and the Hobbits by selling them a half-starved nag at exhorbitant price, when they were seeking to replace their stolen packhorses.

One of the mysterious rangers of the North, Strider befriended the Hobbits at Bree and led them safely from there to Rivendell, protecting them from the attacks of the terrible Ringwraiths. In reality Strider was the Dunedain prince Aragorn, heir to the crowns of both Arnor and Gondor. He was to become, after Gandalf's fall, the leader of the Fellowship.

Barliman was the proprietor and owner of the Prancing Pony inn at Bree which served as a refuge for Frodo and the Hobbits during their perilous journey to Rivendell. Barliman was a rotund and genial host, somewhat forgetful and easily flustered but generally good-hearted. Nob was one of the Hobbit-folk of Bree who was employed as a servant and jack-of-all-work at the Prancing Pony.
